Silver Surfer vs. Thor • Classic John Buscema Cover • Low Distribution Giant
One of the most iconic issues of the Silver Surfer run — “The Good, the Bad, and the Uncanny!” — featuring an epic clash between the Surfer and the God of Thunder, Thor. Written by Stan Lee with art by John and Sal Buscema, this oversized 68-page issue delivers cosmic-scale drama with mythic grandeur, showcasing both Buscema’s powerful figure work and Lee’s introspective storytelling.
📚 Highlights:
Silver Surfer visits Asgard, home of the Norse gods.
A misunderstanding leads to an all-out battle between Thor and the Surfer.
Back-up story: “The Terror of Tim Boo Ba!” by Howard Purcell and Paul Reinman.
Low distribution due to the 25¢ cover price — one of the tougher keys from the series to find in mid-grade and above.
📝 Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes
F– (5.5) — Clean, solid mid-grade copy with moderate spine wear and light surface creasing. Presents well with strong color and gloss; staples firm, interior pages complete and supple.
